Verdict
Silk Cravat, four-times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-19 on Turf but has been getting closer and his second to Hidden Spark at Fairyhouse could be given a boost in the previous race. Piper Bomb was headed close home at Roscommon but would have a better chance on easier ground but LITTLE CAMACHO was returning from a long break when just failing to get to Nakakande at Fairyhouse and can go one better with just a pound rise to contend with. Talk Now has changed stables since a surprise victory on soft going at Roscommon while Trueba wasn't beaten far at Fairyhouse after going up 8lb for beating a big field at Naas.
